It's been unusually cold here for a Seattle winter. We have had a few weeks of extremely cold weather, but there is still beauty to be seen in our gardens. This is the primary fountain here at Queen Anne Gardens with a dusting of snow. Snow is a rare treat here, and while it does make travel difficult, it sure is beautiful.

When I find time to do other than garden design/consult/build, I love to paint. This image is of an imagined tree, the 1,000,000th tree I install... already at an old age. [oil on canvas, 18" W x 24" H]
